Why We Love St Andrew-York Mills

Its Schools are A-Listers

You almost can’t go wrong in choosing a school for your kids in St. Andrew-York Mills as they’re all phenomenal. But we will give a special shout-out to two: Denlow Public School and Junior Academy.

Denlow consistently scores over 9.0 out of 10 (they grade into decimal points) in the annual Fraser Institute's school rankings placing it in the top 20 or so of all elementary schools across Ontario.

If you’re looking at private school options, we love that the private elementary school Junior Academy intentionally keeps enrollment small so that teachers can focus on more individualized learning and development plans for their students.

There’s No Excuse Not to Get Active

There’s an abundance of parkland, sporting fields, community centres, golf courses and walking trails in this vibrant North York neighbourhood. Golfers will love Don Valley, one of Toronto’s most prestigious courses known for its lush greenery and naturalized wetlands. And residents are just a short drive to the Rosedale Valley Golf Club.

St. Andrews Park is a popular hangout for locals to picnic, read a book or play sports in this expansive greenspace. There’s also a tennis club next door. York Mills Valley Park features a popular outdoor pool for summertime family fun along with a baseball diamond and a busy hockey arena.

Windfield Park gives you access to a ravine valley walking trail that winds alongside Wilkett Creek which branches off of the Don River.
